[edit] Lance_Thomas

Non-notable, per the precedent set by deleting Mouhammad Faye's page today Rambler14 14:22, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - though I really don't like the WP:POINT nomination. Just being giving a verbal commitment to a D1 school doesn't make you notable. Once he actually does something at Duke, recreate the article then. BigDT 15:10, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I also don't like the reason for the nomination, but high school sports do not qualify athletes for inclusion. Kafziel 15:11, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but cleanup the article he's being mentioned[1], and is being covered by major sources (NY Times, CBS Sportsline, Sports Illustrated)[2]. Revamp, but a keeper. Yanksox 15:12, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Recreate if he starts for Duke. -- GWO

• Weak Keep; seems to be getting pretty good coverage in mainstream news outlets. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 18:10, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep. Normally I would vote to delete as per BigDT and Kafziel, but someone blatantly and admittedly violating WP:POINT sticks in my craw. RGTraynor 19:04, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
